Well gents, the key here is that the program would allow the person to choose on the fly between different time stamp formats that they've already preset. Both TClock2 and TicTocTitle are excellent programs, but they do not offer this key feature.

I may need one format for a log file I'm working on, and another in emails I write, and another for comments in a PHP script I work in. In both the programs mentioned, I have to go into the config to change the format for the time stamp, and in TicTocTitle, I have to restart the app.

TicTocTitle already has "Copy time and date" in the popup menu of the systray icon. Now if it just had more formats to choose from (in that pop up menu), especially if those formats were configurable by the user, it would be perfect.

There was mention an clipboard utillity on this forum.With this utillity you could set diff templates to past in too.In this templates you can also use placeholders for time stamps.So you could make a few templates with diff date/time items.What was the name of this tool ?..........

Permanent clip can be used to put predefined text. Permanent clip has the ability to create sub menu, so can manage the text better. Permanent clip uses simple text format so it can be easily edited by using any text editor. Integrated functions to add current date and time.
